here there seems to be too much light on the girls face in relation to the rest of her body

seductive pose - having her hand on screen in the lower left is a bit of a distraction

Almost didn't realize it was a nude. The eye make up seems a little hard for the softness of the photo, otherwise, very lovely.

The only complaint I have is the right hand in the bottom left corner..this is a little distracting. Frame is nice.

nice eye contact from model, good lighting for fair skin.

I see a very pretty natural girl... with what appears to be eyebrow make-up? Something very funky going on with the eyebrows. Very pretty photo though. I like the composition. Even though there's a breast in the photo the focus is still her eyes. Very tasteful nude.

A different angle or crop might have worked better to get rid of her partial hand in the bottom left corner.

Not keen on the vertical crop for this image...especailly with her hand cut off in the bottom left area. The eyes also nee4d to be more in focus than the lips.

Composed fine but there are several technical issues to address... mainly that the white balance is probably not correct for the lighting.

1-Shoulder and chest areas have yellow color cast. 2-Face has red color cast. 3-Areas on either side of the nose and around the mouth border on being overexposed. 4-What is probably her hand in the lower left side of the image is a distraction.

Red face and yellow skin can probably be corrected with a remarkably simple "Curves" adjustment layer, maybe both at the same time. In that you create the "Curves" adjustment layer, select the red channel and then drag the center down and away from the word "red". It won't take much. If it does not correct the yellow cast then try creating a "Hue/Saturation" Adjustment layer, select 'yellow' in the popup list and drag the saturation slider left to desaturate the yellows until you get a nice natural skin color. Use a little burn to darken around the nose and mouth a touch for more softness and beauty. Lastly, clone out the segment of hand in the lower left corner of the frame.

Do these things for starters and you will flatter your model better in this photograph.

Nice angle and nice expression, but the lighting on the face is problematic. It's quite a bit too hot on the upper side of the face. Also, the bit of hand in the bottom left corner is distracting.

Very lovely model, but I have a few issues with the photo. First of, the hand(?) in the bottom left corner distracts my eye from the rest of the shot. Crop a bit tighter to help that. Lighting is also a bit harsh and a tad warm.

nice tits

This would have been even better if her right hand wasn't in the shot...
